Primitive elements of a connected free bialgebra

Rings and Algebras 2023-09-29 v1

Abstract

We prove that the Lie algebra of primitive elements of a graded and connected bialgebra, free as an associative algebra, over a eld of characteristic zero, is a free Lie algebra. The main tool is a ltration, which allows to embed the associated graded Lie algebra into the Lie algebra of a free and cocommutative bialgebra. The result is then a consequence of Cartier-Quillen-Milnor-Moore's Shirshov-Witt's theorems.
